Talk:Norway/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Cost of living is also about 30% higher in Norway than US and 25% higher than England, so the purchasing power can be correspondingly adjusted down." This is a very strange statement, as it looks like its a comment on Norway's high PPP ranking. PPP stands for Purchasing Power Parity, which means that the cost of living is (at least in theory) already fully accounted for. Thus there should not be any need for adjusting down the purchasing power further than what is already done in the PPP rankings. Whether or not the PPP adjustments are sufficient, adequate and relevant is another discussion altogether, and does not belong in an article about Norway. 193.71.38.142 07:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
